After a while, at the fence of the wharf, there were two young men in cloth holding lotus leaf bags, the lotus leaf bags were full of braised meat, and the two of them ate a mouthful of meat, just a mouthful of broth in the crockpot, the juice splashed everywhere, the mouth was full of oil, and they ate a lot.

Although they are both eating meat and drinking soup, there is a difference between the two, one is immersed in eating and drinking, as if he has never eaten in eight lifetimes, and the other is chewing slowly, and a pair of eyes are staring at the dock carefully through the gap in the fence.

He ate for a while, and there was a bunch of bones left in the lotus leaf bag before he touched his belly contentedly, and he burped for a long time, and a smell of meat spurted out of his mouth, which could stun a cow.

Look at Changsun Hong beside him, the dog is strange, the lotus leaf bag on Changsun Hong's side is still half of the food has not moved, look at him sitting cross-legged on the ground and looking into the distance, as if he is enjoying the beautiful dance while tasting the delicacies reservedly.

"Erlang, what are you looking at?" The dog looked out curiously at Changsun Hong's gaze, and in addition to a group of sweaty and busy carrying goods under the sun, there were flat-bottomed boats moored on the shore.

What's so nice about these?

The eldest grandson did not speak, but stopped eating and drinking, wiped his greasy hand on the ground, took out a piece of paper from his arms, and used a piece of cylindrical charcoal he picked up to write and draw on the ground.

The dog became more and more curious, he stretched out his head and glanced at it, only to see that the paper was painted with some strange symbols, and there were some Chinese characters marked intermittently, such as "cloth", "Shu brocade", "grain", etc., followed by those symbols, inexplicable.

"Dog, you help me look at the river, there are a few ships that have passed by and have not docked here, and the ships can see what goods are pulling, and they will write them down in their minds one by one, and tell me to hear, but the goods are generally covered with tarpaulin, and you can't see them, you just need to write down what you can see. I'm going to stare at what's happening on the docks, and I can't see it. After writing and painting for a while, the eldest grandson Hong instructed the dog.

"Oh." The dog didn't understand why he did this, but the eldest grandson Erlang asked him to do it, it must make sense, so do it.

The two of them squatted behind the fence, like two statues as immobile as a mountain, concentrating on their respective busy records, the dog was illiterate, of course, he couldn't recognize the Arabic numerals used by Changsun Hong, but he had a good memory, and he drew a horizontal line on the ground when he counted a boat, and finally counted the number of horizontal lines.

Time passed minute by minute, and on the edge of the dock where the flow of people shuttled, people passing by looked at the two teenagers sitting on the ground basking in the sun, most of them didn't care, thinking that these were two little gangsters who were just like the idle men who were leaning on the outer wall of the hook fence and were bored and scratching lice.

Two hours later, the eldest grandson Hong counted the marks that the dog had written on the ground, roughly asked what kind of cargo was on the undocked ship, and got up to leave.

On the street outside the gambling house, Wang Gui and others have already come out, and they are hanging out with the three brothers of the Li family.

"Little brother, you three companions, you have lost a lot today." Wang Gui turned his head sideways and whispered to the eldest grandson: "How can there be such a gambling method?" Take the silver and smash it, bet on the dice, and don't hear the sound; Gambling on the pitcher, the accuracy is not enough; Gambling pai gow, even the cards do not know, the whole is three novices, but still do not admit defeat, insist on saving face, lose naked, but also blame others is not out of the thousand, if not the owner of the gambling house knows me, give me a thin face, today may not be able to come out. ”

The eldest grandson Hong smiled secretly in his heart, the three boys who don't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth, they have suffered a loss today, maybe they will be more restrained in the future, and understand that gambling is not a good thing. So he clasped his hands into fists and thanked Wang Gui: "The three of them don't understand the rules, they are just young people who come here for the first time, Brother Wang is not strange, and if you offend, take care of it." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, I can help you with your business, eldest grandson, little brother, and don't be polite, just tell me." Wang Gui hurriedly replied, he didn't know why, he always felt that the young man in front of him was extraordinary, calm and capable, and he felt that he was dealing with a person of the same age as himself, and he couldn't afford to despise him.

It was not early, and the housekeeper in the city was probably crazy, and the three treasures were missing, and the master would skin him, so Wang Gui led a few people back to the city.

After entering the city gate, Wang Gui and Changsun Hong politely parted, and Changsun Hong and others walked in the direction of Li's house on their own.

It was nearly evening, the crowd on the street was sparse, and even the little two in the shop were slacking off, lazily leaning on the counter and dozing off, and there were not many people walking on the stone road. Just a few steps away from Wang Gui, two white-shirted people came to meet them, the two of them were talking and laughing, folding fans and square scarves, plump and handsome, young with square steps, looking like a scholar, but seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed extraordinarily, and had a good demeanor.

The eldest grandson Hong lowered his head and thought about his thoughts, the dog followed him boredly, the three brothers of the Li family have not raised their heads since they came out of the gambling house, and they originally wanted to win back dozens of taels of silver like their father, but they never wanted to lose the old bottom.

The two groups of people staggered shoulder-to-shoulder, neither paying attention to each other, and the road was facing the sky, each walking half way.

Walking out a few steps away, one of the two white-shirted people suddenly stopped, frowned and looked back, pointed with a fan, and shouted: "That little ghost, stop!" ”

This sound, of course, was shouted to Changsun Hong and the others, but no one paid attention to the five people, Changsun Hong was thinking about things, the dog was looking at the sky, and the three brothers of the Li family were frowning, and no one noticed.

The white-shirted man was embarrassed to freeze there, and someone on the side of the road looked at him, which hurt his high self-esteem, and he was angry in his heart, so he slapped the folding fan, turned around and hurried to catch up, shouting while chasing: "Call you?" Do you hear that? Deaf? ”

He barked closer and closer, the dog was the first to notice, he looked back, and saw a menacing white-shirted man coming over, vaguely remembered something, and quickly grabbed Changsun Hong's clothes.

"Huh?" The eldest grandson Hong in the middle of the line was pulled in vain, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Mo Changbin's angry face.

"Sure enough, it's you, kid!" Mo Changbin recognized the appearance of the eldest grandson at a glance, and laughed angrily: "The road is narrow!" ”

The three brothers of the Li family stood to the side blankly, there were many people that day, where did they remember that there was such a person as Mo Changbin.

Eldest Sun Hong's expression was indifferent, staring at Mo Changbin, as if he was thinking.

"Hmph, I didn't expect to meet you here, kid, that day, the girl of the sect helped you intercede and let you go, but no one helped you today, if you don't make it clear, you don't want to leave!" Mo Changbin gritted his teeth, he was embarrassed in front of his classmates that day, which made him lose face and be extremely ashamed, and now the enemies are very red when they see each other.

Seeing Changsun Hong's unresponsive expression, Mo Changbin had a headache, snorted heavily, and said, "Scared stupid? Kneel down, kowtow and admit your mistakes, and I'll spare you, hum! A pariah who dares to do dirty and obscene things......"

Before he finished speaking, Changsun Hong was stunned and said, "You...... Who is it? ”

This is not pretending, there were many people talking about it that day, and what impressed him was a few women dressed as men, and as for the group of men who pretended to be flower messengers, he didn't pay attention to any of them.

This sentence almost made Mo Changbin vomit blood on the spot, how! Co-authored and molested the woman I brought and pretended not to know me? No way!

"Good for you! The sage said that he would eliminate harm for the people, I will not teach you today, you don't know the strict rules of law and discipline! Mo Changbin thrust the fan into his neck and shouted hatefully: "Brother Chen, these guys were the ones who humiliated Chen Xiaoniang that day, let's beat them!" ”

The other white-shirted man who was with him stepped forward angrily when he heard this.

The dog's expression tightened, and he leaned against Changsun Hong's side in one step.

The three brothers of the Li family stood in the middle of the four in a daze, looking left and right, not understanding what was happening.
